'Happiness'. - Ssy.org

Guruji: The English word 'meditation' has three different meanings in Sanskrit.
There is no absolute one word translation for meditation. In Sanskrit, we call it Dharana, Dhyana and
Samadhi.
In English, these three different processes are clubbed together into simply 'meditation' for e.g. they call
prayer - 'meditation'.
Prayer is actually 'Dhyana', which is something that is done. It is not Samadhi, because in Samadhi there
is nothing to be done. A prayer could be called 'Dhyana! and a Japa comes very close to being in
Dharana.
You will understand these processes step by step. First you go in to Samadhi, and then we will slowly
teach you what is Dhyana, and then slowly you will come to Dharana. Right now all our SSY students are
very good in Samadhi. They do not know about Dhyana or Dharana. If you come to one of our Padyatras
you will come to understand what is Dharana.
Once you give Dharana and Dhyana to people who have done Samadhi, then their mind becomes very
focused. They will be able to accomplish things very easily. They will be able to focus on things very
easily. Right now, all of you are very good at de-focusing but not focusing. For this you require some
training. The best training for this is come for Padyatras.
If you come for a few Padyatras
strong.
you will understand the power of Dharana you will become very, very
When you participate in a Padyatra you will come to a state where you do not have any body anywhere.
The body simply walks without you thinking, then Dharana begins. When there is total Nobodiness
physically, mentally, spiritually in every way you are a total - Nobody.
